Hotline Feature – Larry Groce: Remembering Todd Snider, Bacon Brothers Sellout, and Mountain Stage’s Next Big Acts

Mountain Stage host Larry Groce joins Dave Weekley on Hotline for a warm, wide-ranging conversation about music, memories, and the show’s next big moments. Larry reflects on the passing of Todd Snider, who appeared on Mountain Stage 17 times and was beloved for turning every set into a little theatrical story. He previews the sold-out December 7th anniversary show featuring the Bacon Brothers, shares highlights from Bob Thompson’s Joy to the World holiday concerts, and teases January’s kickoff with Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble. The pair even detour into fishing, poetry, and why Larry still watches country award shows “when he stumbles across them.”
